Yeah - think Pete may be giving away more about himself than he intended with this one!

also posted on af1:
is actually a spare piece of tube - i have wadding spare, and a rivetter - so i can put it on for a laugh.... i have a somewhat longer main exhaust to go on permantly.
having said that, a spare mille 2 into one pipe has been cored / baffled to see what happens.... i have too much time on my hands atm.....
and neighbour wise.... so long as my welding friend over the road continues riding his 1300 cc "hardly moving son" with straight through pipes then i think i will still be quieter
I just had to see what the response would be :)
project exhaust is still ongoing.....
....... someone call nooj in from his workshop where he is no doubt perusing his rack of hacksaws.....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Seen it already, my 'zorsts turned up yesterday but I'm trying to find an old pair to hack up as a practice first.
Anyone got any old FJ1100 cans they don't want?
Also playing with a Tuono bellypan at the moment.

I can remember running my BB without the cans on, just the downpipes and link pipes........loud?
Oh yes you could hear it on the M25 apparently and thats half a mile away in a straight line. Fingers X'd for you that the old bill don't take an interest.
